Dead Low Tide-Self Titled LP Download
2007-12-11 04:04:00
I didn't start this blog as an MP3 blog. I actually started it just to write about music. I always enjoyed discussing music and figured that if I had an outlet that people might go out of their way to go read, it would keep me from talking about it all the time in my real life. It has worked to an extent, but for some reason, I got hooked on sharing so much great music with people, I'd forgotten all about how good it felt to just share my opinion about it. I just felt like I should let you know.Dead Low Tide was the band that 3/5 of the Murder City Devils started after they broke up (inluding vocalist Spencer Moody). I don't like it as near as much as I do the Devils, and to be quite honest, if Moody wasn't involved, I don't think I'd be interested in it at all. The Murder City Devils were a near-perfect band, and 90% of their greatness came from Moody's vocals. There are a couple of moments of greatness here. It's easy to see how the sound here is a progression on the last ...

Hudson Falcons/Virus Nine split 7" (City Rat)
2007-12-07 21:17:00
The Hudson Falcons have always put out good releases, but it always seemed to me that the band was always more about the live show and any recordings were just a little something to take home from that, or as promotion to get you to go see them (instead of the other way around). There's just something about the spot-and-ady of the band that will never, ever be captured on CD.With that out of the way, the first Hudson Falcons' song on this 7" is pretty typical of the band. Positive lyrics about rock n roll with a rock n roll backbeat to carry it along. It makes you want to drink a lot and dance around with your friends. It won't change your life, but it'll make it a lot more fun, and that always seemed like the goal for bands like this. Their second contribution is a very, very styleised cover of Billy Bragg's "Power In the Union". It was always one of my least favorite Bragg songs because it always seemed a little uninspired to me, but their version adds a little "umph!" to the...

This Is England
2007-12-07 19:18:00
I finally got to see This Is England a couple weeks ago and I've noticed that it's been all over the blogoshpere recently as well (the DVD was just released in the US, so I imagine a lot of people are just now picking it up as I did). I'd been looking forward to the movie for months and was stoked to finally get to see it. This Is England is Shane Meadows' semi-autobiographical account of his vague associations with the skinhead cult in the early 1980s. It is the first time I've ever seen non-racist skins depicted in a movie (outside of the 10 second explanation given in the Troma classic Dog Years). The timeline of events happens to fall during the Thatcher period of political unrest in Britain, when people were reacting to inflating immigration issues and a failing economy (sounds familiar, right?), and skinheads, being mostly white, working class males, were reacting the most, and being suckered into far right-wing political movements like the National Front. In essence, it ...

Sideburns-All Skinhead Cons 7" Download
2007-12-06 04:42:00
The Sideburns were Osaka's ruling Oi! superstars in the 90s. They had at least one other release, an LP called Golden Hits that's at least as good as this, if you ever track it down, let me know, I want a copy. I believe they also had an earlier 7". The record isn't really straightforward Oi! (by American or British Oi! standards). It's bit more melodic, and the B side is a pretty dark song about...well, I don't really know what it's about (also, sorry about all the surface noise at the beginning of that track, there's a really long fade-in on the record). I think I should just share the lyrics inside:"We can have a lot of thoughtWe can have any funBut there need to stopMad chess play the fasten ghost"Are they on drugs or does this just not translate too well into English?Get AwayMad Chess Play the Fasten Ghost

V/A-Songs the Cramps Taught Us Vol.1 Download
2007-12-04 02:07:00
A lot of people I know are aware that the bulk of the Cramp's material are actually covers, or butchered mergings of two covers, or ripped off music with new lyrics. I'm suprised at the number of people I meet, though, that haven't heard this series. I've got a ooooooold bootleg 12" called Songs We Taught the Cramps that covers a lot of the early Cramp's stuff and throws in some samples from old horror movies. As far as I know, that's the earliest version of what turned into a huge deal among rock n roll comps. There have been several different comps. bootlegged under the name Songs the Cramps Taught Us, but as far as I can tell, this series of three CDs seems to be the best (though at least two different covers exists for each volume, and there are other versions that stole the artwork but are different tracklists). The liner notes are great, with bios on all the original performers and some thoughts on the different versions. I've honestly never really listened to the Born ...

Laisse Tomber Les Filles
2007-12-02 06:52:00
ONE MORE 60s POST AFTER THIS AND THEN I'LL POST MORE CRAP YOU HEATHENS ARE INTO!When I was a freshman in highschool, a senior girl gave me an awesome mixtape full of great old rock n roll, punk, some jazz, and a little soul. Buried on the second side was Link Wray's classic "Rumble". In the liner notes she typed up for me, she told me to study Link Wray, because listening to, and understanding, his music would allow me to "develop a cool strut of my own." It was a silly way of putting it, but true. Rock n roll has always been about that swagger we carry with us, you can see it in our walk. Like we're onto something so much cooler than you are. The entire Cramp's catalog has that swagger to it (just listen to Bad Music for Bad People right before you go into a new job and you'll see what I mean). "Laisse Tomber Les Filles", oddly enough, is another great example of this. "Laisse Tomber Les Filles" was written by Serge Gainsbourg and recorded in 1964 by France Gall , who was 17 at...

V/A-Quagmire Volume 1: Sixties Punk Mysteries From the USA
2007-11-30 04:15:00
Still on my 60s kick, I apologize to any of you with musical tastes so narrow you might not be into it. Every once in a while, I'll completely stop listening to the 70s punk, hardcore, Oi, or whatever else heavy sub-genres of punk I'm usually spinning, and get back into the old stuff. It's like a musical enema and we all need them from time to time. As mentioned as a comment in the last post, there are dozens of compilations documenting 60s punk, garage, and psych. The world-famous Nuggets is easily the go-to for people getting into the rougher songs of the genres, and while it has some great songs, it includes quite a few misplaced duds, and barely scratches the surface of all the great singles that came out in the 60s. The 60s were a decade dominated by singles as opposed to LPs, both in the mainstream and the underground (and some damn good music charted on the Top 40 during those 10 years), and indies were starting to flex their muscle in regional scenes, exposing hundreds of...

Bunker Hill-"The Girl Can't Dance"
2007-11-28 03:33:00
I've been on a 60s kick lately (it happens every few months), so I figured I should post one of my favorite 60s songs, which also happens to be one of the loudest, craziest, most out-of-control rockers of all time, regardless of the decade. Rock guitar legend Link Wray did a couple of sessions with a former boxer going under the name "Bunker Hill " in the early 1960s. His real name was David Walker and has achieved minor success in gospel groups before he met up with Link Wray (supposedly the stage name was because he didn't want his friends from the gospel world knowing he was playing rock music).A lot of the material Bunker Hill recorded with the Raymen is great, but nothing, nothing matches this recording. Anyone who tells you that rock was unexciting before punk came along obviously never heard this cut, it blows most punk right out of the water by sheer sonic force. This song is available on CD onMissing Links Vol. 3, and as a 7" single with a version of "Friday Night Dance Pa...

Circle Takes the Square-As the Roots Undo
2007-11-25 22:49:00
This album came out in 2004 on Robotic Empire (CD) and Hyperrealist (vinyl). Where to even begin explaining how great this record is without just playing it for someone is almost impossible. The band manages to balance slow, melodic parts with some of the fastest, heaviest, hardcore I've ever heard (and that's saying a lot). Comparisons to legions of the better late 90s screamo bands (and no, I'm not talking about Silverstein) would be too easy. They break out of the stigma behind any of the subcultural genres to create a unique concept album that could only ever be attributed to them. Yes, there are obvious nods to their influences on here (the last riff of "Crowquill" is ripped right off His Hero Is Gone, and "Interview at the Ruins" is easily comparable to Holywood era Manson with much more punk and metal aesthetic to balance it out). This record is, at the end, a well orchestrated concept album about trying to force self-realization, and the futility of looking for answers. I...

Thik Chicken-Hole Friars Download
2007-11-22 20:04:00
Today begins the official holiday season. Which means in-laws. Which means that, to deal with in-laws, I will get drunk tomorrow morning around 9 and hopefully not meet back up with sobriety until January 1st.Here's another great one from the 90s to hold you over on your holiday weekend. Thik Chicken were a Birmingham band, so I'm obligated to stick up for them. Maybe it's just the holidays and Chicago's too fucking cold so I'm thinking of home. Thik Chicken were considered a "File 13" band ("File 13 is just a name for music from a certain group of bands from Birmingham, Alabama. We used it to put out our own tapes and records and what not. Since we never made any money to speak of, you wouldn't call it a business"), along with Lamenstra, the Dougs, and a few others. The most recent incarnation is Skeptic ?, who were featured on the last podcast. The band had a demo tape before this that I've heard but don't have, and this 7" was the last thing they recorded.

Pressure Point-Resist and Riot (GMM, Six Feet Under)
2007-11-21 03:30:00
Sacramento's Pressure Point have been kicking around the US and putting out pretty good records for a few years now. They've gone through a streetrock phase, a hardcore phase, but there was never really a "Pressure Point sound" if you know what I mean. I know I've mentioned how good their live show is, and I've always enjoyed their records, but there was always something missing. Resist and Riot is the closest the band has come to really developing their own style. The first two songs are solid streetpunk, but they're pretty generic songs without much character. They remind me a lot of the Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards records; fast, kinda' heavy, and a little bit of melody thrown in. The record really takes off with the third track, "Rise Up", which throws in some ska influence but doesn't sound hokey like I would've expected. The rest of the A side keeps on mixing it up enough to make the record really interesting. Flip over to the B side, and what have you got? Two mo...

From the anti-punk era of Black Flag:From 1995. Not as funny as the earlier last one, it's pretty typical 90s Rollins.

Carrion-Baptized By Fire Download
2007-11-20 02:51:00
I saw these guys a few years ago at the Boiler Room in Birmingham. I was completely blown away and bought both records they had at the time, which was this and an earlier, self-titled 7" that's not near as good (now that I'm thinking of it, I'll probably rip it and post it up sometime soon). The music sort of reminds me Dinosaur Jr. with a way heavier edge to it. The guitar work is great and the vocals are angry as hell. You should just download this and then ride around blasting it through your neighborhood late at night. These guys went on to be called The Wayward.

The Bruisers-Singles Collection Download
2007-11-17 21:01:00
This is the band that Al Barr of Dropkick Murphys fame used to be in. My opinion on this whole thing (and, for once, seems to be the opinion of most people I know) is that I used to love the Dropkick Murphys. The Do or Die still rules after all these years. When Mike, the original singer, left the band, Al Barr made complete sense as a replacement. The Bruisers are essential 90s US Oi!. But, it seems like the merging of two classic bands yielded pretty boring results. I haven't bought a DKM record since Al joined the band, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on a thing.But, sparing the rest of my jaded rants, here's the Bruisers Singles Collection. Personal favorites are "Intimidation", "Society's Fools", "Brown Paper Bag", and "Gates of Hell". My least favorite song in this is probably "Bloodshed", but Blood for Blood down an amazing cover it on Outlaw Anthems. Taang Records put this out. Support. Download Singles Collection

Gein and the Graverobbers-The Passion of the Antichrist CD (Necro-Tone)
2007-11-17 19:16:00
I've always thought the whole neo-surf thing was cool. Man...Or Astroman? have always been the best in my book (of course, they're from Alabama, I'm biased), as they put out top-notch records and were always great live (are their records even in print anymore? I've got to post some of their stuff sometime). However, the genre has it's shortcomings. The first time I ever heard Gein and the Graverobbers was probably 3 or 4 years ago, right about the same time I heard the Ghastly Ones (who are the same thing but marginally better). They both play surf rock that is really sort of a take on what the Ventures would do with the Munsters theme. The G hastly Ones put out a record called A-Haunting We Will Go that's a really cool, goofy surf record, and Gein and the Graverobbers had Songs in the Key of Evil. Both albums were great, but I assumed they were one-offs, like the bands would move on and explore new territory. But, it seems they haven't. Both bands are still doing the same thi...

Reagan SS-Hail the New Dawn 7" Download
2007-11-16 04:15:00
This was one of my favorite records for a really long time. It's still great, but it's nothing compared to Reagan SS's more recent records. For what it is, it's great. Full-on, driving thrashcore that only knew one speed: as fast as possible. As I've said in reviews about Reagan SS before, there's not a lot to say about them. They've also said this interviews, they want their records to speak for themselves. This record was originally put out by 625 Records, but the version I ripped it off is the re-press on Coalition/Way Back When Records, both labels based out of the Netherlands. It's pressed on thick ass seafoam green vinyl. Pretty awesome. Download Hail the New Dawn

The Refused-The Shape of Punk to Come
2007-11-15 04:30:00
This record will change your outlook on punk, and it's place in modern society, if you let it. When this record came out in 1998, the Refused touted it, as the name implies, as punk's saving grace. You see, they were saying that punk is still relevant, it's just not relevant to itself. There's a wonderful paradox buried inside the absolutely amazing music this record has to offer. The band also never comes across as pretentious, as a lot of innovative punk bands do (Converge...).There is a brief essay in the liner notes that explains my point here. I'm tired and not doing a very good job at it, so I'll them do it for me:"A large part of what makes some bands so great is not just rooted in the actual music, ideas, or the fact that they 'were the first to do it'. Rather it is that they were giving their best effort and playing on the edge of their abilities at all times. If a band ever finds that it is not doing both of those things, then they are not playing the kind of music...

Coliseum-No Salvation LP (Relapse, Auxiliary)
2007-11-14 03:29:00
Coliseum put out some the most intense, balls out, supercharged rock n roll records right now. What sucks about this is that the punk crowd who would probably go nuts over this will probably ignore it because it came out on Relapse Records, a bigger metal label. The record starts out with ?No Benefit?, a no-holds-barred ripping punk song that mixes all the great things of 80s hardcore punk with a darker feel of the modern gloomy hardcore sound. The album doesn?t let up from there. The great thing about this record, and this band, is that there are so many references you could make to other bands to compare their sound, but they don?t really sound like anyone except themselves. You can?t mistake Ryan Patterson?s throaty yell for anyone else?s. You can?t match their guitar sound or rhythm changes with anyone else playing right now. This is a band that should be huge right now because they?re unique, but they?re still accessible. Solid fucking classic. This record is on Relapse (as I m...

Minor Threat, Silverchair? Videos
2007-11-13 02:38:00
For some reason there are a lot of Minor Threat videos with realyl great quality floating around. This one is special because it happens to be my favorite Minor Thread song. "In My Eyes" represents everything the band is about. The lyrics are rallying against a society, and those that mirror it (even in the underground) that they want no part in. The majority of the song is slow, which was so un-hardcore, before it explodes into the chorus. Fucking great stuff. This is Silverchair covering Minor Threat. Apparantly these guys used to be really cool, but all I've heard is the shit they play on the radio, so this is fucking weird.

His Hero is Gone Fool's Gold 7" Download
2007-11-11 19:55:00
What surprises me about His Hero Is Gone is how they've never managed to spread outside of the world of record collecting nerds and a few people who were around to see them in the 90s. They released consistently great records, did several big tours, and have influenced a ton of bands indirectly. Even just looking at the bands members of HHIG went on to be after the break-up points to how big their influence on hardcore punk has been (Tragedy, Deathreat, Severed Head of State and From Ashes Rise to name a few), and yet, for the most part, I rarely hear much about them. This record was recorded with the original line-up. To me, the first album with the second guitarist, Monuments to Thieves, is their essential record, though everything they did was pretty much spot on. The version I ripped this from is the Coalition Records version, which was distroed in Europe. The 7" is way out of print and I don't even know what it would sell for, but the tracks are available on a CD with other r...

New Society of Anarchists-For the Forgotten CD Review
2007-11-09 02:27:00
NOSA remind me of all those bands I saw when I first started hearing newer "hardcore" in the 90s. Half of the bands were emo and half were just metalheads that got beaten up at metal shows and couldn't play for shit anyway, so they played "hardcore". They listened to all the Boston bands that were tough and could actually play (Blood for Blood), and a lot of the late 80s/early 90s NYHC bands (SOIA, Cro-Mags, Madball, Biohazard, etc) but they were playing the most watered down, bullshit versions of songs that other people already wrote and passing it off as "traditional" hardcore. They also developed some really silly dance routines. It was all basically metal made by people who weren't good enough to actually play metal, so they took out everything except the moshing.I can't tell any songs off this record apart. Every song sounds like an early Throwdown demo. There's the fast metal riff part with some gruff vocals, then a bridge that makes you want to jump up and down and run in...

Yo Gabba Gabba
2007-11-07 04:38:00
I've been hearing a lot about the new Nickelodeon show Yo Gabba Gabba recently, but since I don't get Nickelodeon, I haven't had a chance to check it out. It seems like all my friends with kids are all over it, and any of my friends who don't have kids who have come across it for some reason are telling me to look into on account of my kids. If you haven't heard about it, the show is a children's developmental program that's produced by the Aquabats. I've been checking it out on YouTube, and it's about what I expected. Funny looking monsters (that look like those Japanese toys that Juxtapoz is always raving about), with a very 80s analog-nintendo-type aesthetic (if that description makes any sense at all. A friend of mine with a two year old daughter described it to me as a show that shows children the "alternative" families that are becoming more and more common, without really forcing a viewpoint on them.

I figured I might as well put this up as long as I was making a copy. I came across this years ago and kept it because of the Amphetameanies side, which is solid gold if you're into two tone style ska. The Vera Cruise side, to me, is boring. Some of you might go nuts over it, though. This isn't at all the stuff I normally post, but who cares? It's my blog!The reason I thought about this record:I was reading the (or one of the) recent issue(s) of Razorcake and noticed an interview with Lilly Allen, which I found very odd, but whatever. I was reading over it, they started talking about ska, and somehow this band was mentioned, and the interviewer said that the band featured members of Franz Ferdinand before they got famous. Now, I've never actually heard Franz Ferdinand, but I don't imagine they're very good. I also found it odd that band was brought up and Lilly Allen recognized the Amphetameanies right off (I've never known ANYONE who had ever heard of the band besides me, ev...

V/A-Hardcore Amerika CD Download
2007-11-03 06:58:00
Hardcore Amerkia collects selected tracks from the Eat Me compilation (1983) and I'm Buck Naked (1984), which were volumes #3 and #10 of the Borderless Countries Tapes series. The reissue was put out by Shizophrenic Records and Enterruption. It seems like a lot of people nowadays think of the American harcore scene in the 80s and think there were only a handful of bands and they were all from LA, NYC, or DC. What was important about the BCT series was that they represented all the little scenes in between. This comp. features bands from Ohio, Wisconsin, Washingtion, New Jersey, and other smaller scenes outside of the Slash/SST/Dischord spectrum. The label was also one of the first to expose foreign hardcore bands to a US audience. Some tracks are easy to overlook, but there are bands on here that are at least as good as some of the DC stuff. Trenton, NJ's Detention are incredible. The tracks here are live versions that smoke the 7". "Dead Rock n Rollers" (listed on this comp. as "...

Uniform Choice-Early Demos Download
2007-11-03 06:57:00
I'd seen this around a few times as a 2x7" and was always curious as to how it sounded. Screaming for a Change is such a classic example of the style, and I wanted to hear the earlier versions of the songs that turned into the hits from the LP, but it seemed like whenever I came across the record, it was always a little out of my price-range when I was short on cash. A few weeks ago I happened to find it on CD at a used record shop down the street for $4. I didn't even know there was a CD version, and it doesn't look like there was much thought given to it since the artwork still has the tracklist separated into Sides 1, 2, 3, and 4.The demo was recorded July 19th, 1984, and was released in 1990. Honestly, I was a little let down. It's not like the versions are bad or anything, but they're really almost identical to the LP versions but some parts a little slower and sloppier. It's good from a historical standpoint but if you're into their later material it's not something yo...

The Droids-Ja Bede Bardzo Dobry 7" Download
2007-11-03 06:57:00
This one is from 1994. Maybe some of the native Midwesterners who read this can shed some light on this band, but I doubt it. According to the insert, they were only a band for 3 months. The Droids were from a Polish neighborhood in Green Bay, WI (and not actually from Poland). Three of the five songs on this record are actually sung in Polish. They've got sort of a melodic sound, but it's still edgy. I don't really have much to say about them because I don't really know anything about them. Any of the native Midwesterners who read this might be able to shed a little light, but I doubt it, this record seems pretty obscure. I did Google this and found a couple mailorder catalogs that have ancient copies of this, as well a couple of copies floating around on eBay. I also found a page for Power Ground Records, who released this record, but with NO info other than a discography (which includes an earlier Droids split 7" with a band called Boris the Sprinkler) and a header that reads...
